hey guys names taylor, I haven't posted many posts on these forums but mainly read all of them. Anyway getting to my problem, well it's not really a problem but yeh I own a 95 180sx, it's my second 180 at the moment i used to own a CA but now I i have upgraded to an SR and I am loving it.
The thing is that I want mre power as so does anyone else, I was juts wandering if you guys could just give me some ideas for a bit more power, Ark said i should upgrade to a T28, FMIC and turboback zauzt so if anyone would have some ideas please share.

cheers Taylor.

Just do those mods first and get used to how the car feels. Work on the suspension after that.

You forgot the boost controller!

Those mods should see you pretty happy I reckon, except if you are going to go for a new turbo and exhaust, you may as well chuck a manifold on too. Then once you get used to that, if you want more you can chuck cams in and go powerfc/tune.

Edit: thats a point, does it have coilovers or are they low springs?

His new car is much more impressive. It has 161kw too, except at the fly and without the 1 :P

Seriously though, on the subject of BT's car. How in the hell did you put up with those seats? They are like sitting on solid boards :o

There's not much point doing a turbo swap without a manifold.

In order id go:

1) Turbo back exhaust
2) Front mount
3) Electronic boost controller
4) Manifold and turbo (you have to remove the manifold anyway to get the turbo off)
5) Ecu (then tune)
6) Injectors and afm upgrade (then another tune)
7) Cams.

Amongst all that look at strut braces and castor rods and suspension upgrades (coilovers) aswell as subframe bushes between 3 and 4 or you'll never be able to use the power the car makes.

You can move cams up to before the ecu if you are that way inclined.

Stock airbox with a new k&N panel will do the job better than most pods up to 200rwkw or so and it already has a cold air intake.

No point swapping the thing, it's just another defect. The only reason mine has a pod is because it came with one. That, and i'd never be able to fit a stock airbox back in the thing now.
